τὸ ὄν

存在

作品分为两部分,一关于布朗库西的装置的解构,二关于一场与树有关的行为。
整个作品跟希腊有所关系,如缪斯的头,雅典最高的叶子,所以名字采用了一个希腊的词语“τὸ ὄν”,英语意为Being,德语意为Sein,它是“永恒”的反义词,另外,它是暗示一种状态,一种时时刻刻都在变化的状态。整个作品也跟时间有关,如柏拉图说:“Zeit ist veranderung”。

布朗库西是我非常喜欢的艺术家,他的极简主义作品,简单却暗藏神性,我的毕业设计中用到了他的极具标识的两件作品,《沉睡的缪斯》以及《无尽之柱》。我用冰材料代替原作《沉睡的缪斯》铜质材料。另外原作石头制作而成的《无尽之柱》被蜡烛代替。两种元素,冰与火,随着时间的流逝,两种材质的作品逐渐融化,最后变成“无”。可以换句话说,“无”就是这个雕塑最后的完美的形状。它是一种极简的极简。

一场与树有关的行为,
我去希腊雅典最高的山,做了一场与树有关的行为。我爬到雅典最高的山——狼山,花了一整夜的时间,用便携式的“扫描仪”对雅典最高的树(橄榄树)进行扫描。当扫描仪的光,在树干上的叶子上,上下来回摆动时,像极了一把带光的梳子,在打理着她的头发(叶子)。最后扫描仪里出来的图片像一张张抽象光的绘画。这些图片也将通过展厅中墙角高处的打印机,以大约每五分钟一张速率打印出,并从高出像叶子一样落下来。

除了行为部分与布朗库西雕塑部分,墙面上还安装了一个爬梯,大约四米高,人可以爬上去,在最上面有一片雅典最高的叶子。

最后我放了一张在希腊拍摄的照片,它是关于大海,像柔软的梦



τὸ ὄν

The work is divided into two parts, one on the deconstruction of Brancusi's installation. The second part is a performance about tree.

The whole work is related to Greece, such as the head of Muse, the highest leaf in Athens. The title is a Greek word “τὸ ὄν”, means Being (Sein). Which is the opposite of “Eternal”. I implies a state, a state that changes all the time. The whole work is also related to time, such as Plato said: "Time is changing".

Brancusi is one of my favorite artists. In his minimalist works, divinity is concealed in simpleness. I used two of his best known works in my graduation work, “La muse endormie” (sleeping muse) and "The Endless column". I used the ice instead of the original material copper in “La muse endormie”. Use candel to replace the stone in "Endless column". As time goes by, these two elements, ice and candle fire gradually melt and eventually become "none." In other words, “nothing” is the perfect shape of the sculpture. It is a minimalist in minimalist.

a tree-related performance,
I went to the highest mountain in Athens, and made performance about tree. When I reached the top of the mountain, I began to scan the olive tree on the highest spot with my portable scanner. The scanner moved on the leaf like a comb with light. At the end, I got a scanned abstract pictures. The pictures will be printed out by a printer on the ceiling of the room. They fall down like a leave falls from a tree.

In addition to the performance and sculpture of Brancusi, a 4-meter ladder is installed onto the wall. Visitors can climb up, and they will find the highest leaf on the top of the olive tree.
Finally, I put a photo taken in Greece, it is about the sea, like a soft dream.
